LEOs use it all the time. Yes it is taken from the elite Army Rangers. When you hear one say "Ranger Up".............it's go time. SWAT uses it a bunch more so on the tac entries you will hear them say the above with a "choice word" behind it.

Have your head on straight, **** is fixin to hit the fan.........."Ranger Up!"

By the way, the "Ranger Up" term came along after my time.

Ever carried a 100lb ruck on a 20k movement after sleeping 2 -3 hrs at a time for several weeks straight and eating 1 stripped ham steak MRE every other day? Then you realize you're out of water 1K in.

Yeah that sucks but whatever, just another day just put a ranger roll in that patrol cap (looking cool is important) and put in a dip of fresh Copenhagen.

Wait out of dip...things just got serious.

Better Ranger up and double time to that cache point for more Copenhagen!

My dad was a Ranger during the Vietnam conflict. Served two tours. It makes me think of him, and he's a total bad ***.

I have nothing but respect for them.

The Ranger Up company mentioned above, also includes Tim Kennedy, the recently retired MMA fighter. I find their shirts hysterical.

Was doing a search and found this thread. Being an Army military brat; I can tell you what Ranger Up means. But I would dare say... most, including myself, don't know what it "feels like" to actually ranger up. I'd say most folks know what it is to "cowboy up."

I wonder if "Astro up" would be to come up with an excuse or make a prediction for 15 yrs ahead?

Well now... isn't this a gem.

The term's origin has nuthin to do with the Army!!!!

I won't tell you what it means to me, I'll tell y'all what it means:

The term "Ranger Up" applies to an early Texas Ranger requirement (pre-cartridge) that a Ranger must carry supplies for 100 shots (ammo) at all times. So its a "Be Ready"' "Git ur stuff together" "We're movin out" sort of term.
